On Thursday, February 16, the match of 1/16 finals of the Europa League between Barcelona and Manchester United took place. The game ended with the score 2:2.
In the 76th minute of the match, the Brazilian striker of the Catalans scored a goal Rafinha. Also in this match, he scored an assist on Marcos Alonso. However, in the 83rd minute, the head coach of the “blue garnet” Xavi decided to make a substitution and changed Rafinha to Ferran Torres.
This obviously did not please the player. He sat down on the bench and started beating the seat in front of him. Jordi Alba had to calm him down.
After the fight, Rafinha apologized for his actions:
“I already talked to Xavi. I want to apologize to everyone. Once again in front of the coach, in front of Ferrand, in front of the team and the fans. Sometimes you want to help so badly that you lose control of yourself. I made a mistake – sorry.”
